Intro: [C] [C] [Csus2] [C] [Csus2] [Csus4] x 2

[VERSE]
[C] I got a call today that I d[G]idn't wanna hear
But I kn[F]ew that it would come
[C] An old true friend of ours was t[G]alking on the phone
She sa[F]id you found someone

[PRE-CHORUS]
And I tho[G]ught of all the bad luck and struggles we went through
How [F]I lost me and you lost you
[G] What are all these voices outside love's opened door
Because thr[F]ough off our contentment and b[G]eg for something more

[CHORUS]
[C] I'm learning to [Dm]live without you n[C]ow
But I m[F]iss you sometimes
[C] The more I know, the l[Am]ess I understand
All the th[F]ings I thought I knew
I'm l[G]earning again
[C] I've been trying to get down
[Dm] To the heart of the matter
But my w[C]ill gets weak[F] and my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's ab[C]out forgiveness[Am] , forgiveness
[F]Even if, even if y[G]ou don't love me anym[C]ore[C] [Csus2] [C] [Csus2] [Csus4]

[C] [C] [Csus2] [C] [Csus2] [Csus4]

[VERSE]
All these t[C]imes are so uncertain
Though the ye[G]arning undefined
P[F]eople filled with rage
We all ne[C]ed a little tenderness
H[G]ow can love survive in such a gr[F]aceless age

[PRE-CHORUS]
The tr[G]ust in self-assurance that lead to happiness
There the v[F]ery things we kill I guess
Pr[G]ide and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the w[F]ork I put between us, you know it do[G]esn't keep me warm

[CHORUS]
[C] I'm learning to [Dm]live without you n[C]ow
But I m[F]iss you baby
[C] The more I know, the l[Am]ess I understand
All the th[F]ings I thought I figured out
I h[G]ave to learn again
[C] I've been trying to get down
[Dm] To the heart of the matter
But [C]everything changes and my fr[F]iends seem to scatter
And I think it's ab[C]out forgiveness[Am] , forgiveness
[F]Even if, even if y[G]ou don't love me anym[C]ore

[BRIDGE]
There are p[Bb]eople in your life who'[F]ve come and go
They [Am]let you down and they h[F]urt your pride
[Bb] Better put it all behind you 'cause l[F]ife goes on
Keep c[G]arrying that anger, it will eat you up inside

[CHORUS]
[C] I'm learning to [Dm]live without you n[C]ow
But I m[F]iss you sometimes
[C] The more I know, the l[Am]ess I understand
[F]Even if, even if y[G]ou don't love me anym[C]ore

End on [C]
